No wonder. No wonder all my memory is gone when running Vista. Turns out that Vista preloads alot of stuff that it thinks you might need. in other words, its trying to give you more bang for your buck ( or rather your RAM). Jeff Atwood explains this rather well in a follow up post to the one I touched on earlier.
Which is quite fine, until you decide to actually use all that preloaded memory for somthing else. Vista won’t even let me play a DVD for goodness sake. I suppose I should try Readyboost when I get another USB key ( the other one is kind of busy at the moment).
Now all I need to do is persuade someone to lend me their internet for a few hours to download Vista RC1.
